Sure, poly relationships can be complicated, but they can also be quite rewarding

I woke up crying and then started going about my day, thinking I was done for a bit. Then I read this (from Snake-Eater by T Kingfisher):

A soft, maternal chuckle. "Then grant her the same thing. You cannot stop others from loving you, you know, or from being noble about it."

The way you forget how to trust yourself after an abusive relationship (Snake-Eater by T Kingfisher)

Once upon a time, Selena would have gone up to the house, walked around it, looking in the windows.
Once upon a time, she could talk without worrying about it, and didn't run every sentence through her head a dozen times first.
Once upon a time had come and gone and there were no happily ever afters. She let go of her suitcase, untangled Copper's leash, and put her hand on the stone wall.

Gaaaaay 😍 (Dear Stupid Penpal by Rascal Hartley)

I'm in Alaska now. I've got a hot tub set up. You and me, Finch. We're gonna sit in this and stare at the stars and flip them off. You and me.
I love you.

K Lucian Jones (Kit)@spideyj· Dec 21

Entirely too relatable lol (Dear Stupid Penpal by Rascal Hartley - this book is very fun)

... looking back, I think maybe I interpret friendship different than they do. Maybe that was my issue going in. Note to self: everyone's brains function way different than mine.
Yeah so basically, I'm intense and they're not. Not to say they don't like their penpals! They totally do!
Just in a different way.
Oh god, am I too intense for you? Are you more like them? I'm sorry if I'm coming off too strong, I can scale back. Do I need to scale back?
No, no. You would've said something. I know and trust that you would've. And since you didn't, I can safely assume I am okay. Phew. Having a day here.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. I hate time travel lmao

The poster shows a teenage boy coming out from a nearly invisible DeLorean with lines of fire trailing behind. The boy looks astonishedly at his wristwatch. The title of the film and the tagline "He was never in time for his classes ... He wasn't in time for his dinner ... Then one day ... he wasn't in his time at all" appear at the extreme left of the poster, while the rating and the production credits appear at the bottom of the poster.

I tried to let this go but I cannot tell you how much I hate this kind of fatalism. It's not true historically and it's not true now. You can make good art and not necessarily starve.

"Starvation scars more than the stomach." (Lesser Hungers by Rien Gray)

STARVATION SCARS MORE THAN the stomach.
It's a permanent state of being. Even if you eat again, and eat well, changing the is to has won't undo the damage. Your grandmother's famine, that anorexic summer you endured for a best friend's wedding, good old-fashioned American poverty--different methods, same results. That pang never quite fades, waiting for you to accidentally miss lunch or to stress past the tipping point, encoded into your goddamn genetics.

"if we're known for anything here, it's stubbornness" Love this (Lesser Hungers by Rien Gray)

The building is like a thousand others in the Chicago interior: arranged out of lumpy salmon brick molded from Lake Michigan clay, slapped together post-fire to cover the ruins of a block turned to ash. I doubt anyone expected something so cheap to last into the next century, but if we're known for anything here, it's stubbornness.

"As though they should have real meaning or consequence" (Glass Houses by Madeline Ashby)

"And you still think there's no room for me in your
daily life."
He flinched. Like all men, he hated hearing his own words repeated back to him, as though they should have real meaning or consequence. He looked vaguely ashamed. "It sounds so embarrassing when you say it."

lol yes

("I just don't think anger is a healthy emotion," someone had said to Kristen once. Possibly in a group therapy session. Possibly after sex. "That sounds like a personal problem," she had replied.)

Oof yes (Glass Houses by Madeline Ashby)

"It's America, so remember to dress like a girl," Sumter had joked.
(Well. "Joked." He was laughing when he said the words. Somehow that made it into a joke. Or at least, it made it into a thing she was supposed to laugh at. Kristen considered it a major failure of early childhood education that students were encouraged to learn the difference between laughing with and laughing at, without ever learning about laughing for, or how often in life they would be asked to laugh for someone else.)

"California, where people have more feelings" (Glass Houses by Madeline Ashby)

Kristen isn't sure how many CEOs hug their CTOs that way, but things are emotional, and Sumter is from California, where people have more feelings.

The power in recognizing you're the black sheep (Diavola, Jennifer Thorne)

"Where was I? Oh right, so here's the thing, Cat. You were looking for the weak one in the flock, right? The one you could draw aside and push over the edge. Isolate from everyone and feed upon, but see, that was the first flaw in your logic: I'm not a lost lamb. I'm a black sheep. These are two very different things."

"It seemed to Anna that the concept of "vacation" was antithetical to the concept of "family."" - Diavola by Jennifer Thorne

Okay, so there were odd things about this villa. Wafting chills, odd sounds, movement when there shouldn't be any, but looking out at this glorious landscape, this pristine day, did it really matter? This was peace. Vacation. Here, now, while the rest of them were sightseeing.
It seemed to Anna that the concept of "vacation" was antithetical to the concept of "family." Vacation required vacancy. The abandonment of all scraps of everyday life.

They say write what you know (excerpt from my novel, Ghosts of Bakersfield)

“No, that’s not. That’s not what I meant.” I stumbled over the words. “I just, I’m afraid. My last ex was. Is. She. We fell into a really bad rut for a long time. I don’t want to do that again, but I’m not sure how to avoid it.”
Jaime was silent for several long minutes. His arms were still around me but they had gone limp, and I could feel him withdrawing.
“Every relationship is different,” he finally said. “We don’t have to repeat our mistakes.”
I shook my head slightly.
“Every relationship is different, yes, but I’m still the same me,” I told him. “I don’t know if I know how to tell when it’s time to walk away. I don’t trust myself.”
“If you walk away before things even begin, will you ever learn that?” His voice was quiet and a little sad. I felt myself drawn in by his vulnerability and repulsed by it at the same time. I leaned into him and felt his arms tighten around me in response.
“You have a point,” I said softly. “I guess I’m most afraid of being the one people are leaning on, only to have them withdraw when I finally need something from them.”
“You’re leaning on me right now,” he said, and I laughed.

This part!!! The number of times I've heard T1s as having the "good type" as if we T2s brought this on ourselves with bad behavior. The primary factors for T2 are: genetics, economic indicators of health, childhood trauma, eating disorders, and chronic stress. I sure brought this on myself huh

those devices as well. And so for the type one community to be exclusive, in this moment, in this grand opportunity for all of us to celebrate together, really sort of broke me down in a way, you know, I was like, Why? Why can't we just keep this open? Why can't we make this a win for everyone? Instead of saying, quote, unquote, type two people don't use these devices? And I think that the reason why it was like it was like a jab in my heart is I think that that claiming does something in society, right?
It, it functions to show us that large groups of the diabetes are the type one community feel like, maybe type two diabetics aren't using that technology, because they're the ones who don't care. And they're the ones that the stereotype is about. And so that shows me that we have pockets in our type one community that buy into the stereotype just like the public does.

K Lucian Jones (Kit)@spideyj· Oct 28

So often in media (maybe especially horror and thrillers) they get diabetes very wrong, and it's obviously being utilized as a device to accelerate the plot/motivate characters. And they treat insulin as if it does the opposite and highs as if they were lows. Crafting for Sinners gets it right 💕
